Hi,
I bought a new electric oven and it needs installing. I have some basica electrical skills.
As its quite low powered can I get away with using some T&E cable on a plug socket with a 13amp fuse ?
Would that even fit in a plug ?
Or do I have to wire this up to the consumer unit point ?
I followed the cable from the big red cooker switch point, which leads to a blank white plate, behind which is a red, black, and earth cable on some fairly thick looking T&E maybe 6mm. So behind this blanking plate there are also another 3 wires as above which have been connected using some kind of criminping. Just wondering if its just a cause of splitting the crimpo connection and connecting my yet to be bought T&E up to the corresponding colours using some thick electrical blocks (not fancy crimpers here) and then drilling a suitable hole in the plastic blanking plate and then wiring up the 3 wires to the cooker ? (or have I got it all wrong ? not unusual)
Im fairly game in giving it a go, but not at the expense of frying my plums :)
Or better yet save up for an electrician :)
thanks :)
